The trees (have been skilfully trimmed, new plants have been bedded and two additional beds are being arranged."? Nobody in Xewberry said that. It is what the Spartanburg Journal said Tuesday afternoon. Sounds nice enough to be said here. Mrs. Mattie Williams held the num ber callmg for the baby at the Arcade Wednesday night, but she didn't wish to keep it and sold it to the management for $2.50. The baby is a pig and was shipped to the pig orphanage v.'here it is being raised on a bottle, j The management lost about $10 or $15 j by not being able to seat the crowds ( that couldn't get in owing to the jam. j If everybody in town did* things like Jno.

He paid a glowing tribute to Major Butt, who was lost when the Titanic sank, say- 11 in.fi that, the dav of heroism is not ' past." In speaking of class night at Lime- : stone college Monday night the press! reports mention two items that will, be of interest to Newberrians, as one j is about the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Theodore Johnstone and the other be- j ing a daughter of Mr. D.

WRIGHT PARALYZED. | Stricken in Greenville?Entire Right Side Affected?His Condition Thought to be Improving. The entire community was saaaeneu \ by the news that the Rev. George A. Wright, who some time ago resigned i the pastorate of the First Baptist ' church here, after a consecrated ser-j vice of 21 years, had been stricken j with paralysis in Greenville. The affliction came upon Mr. Wright at the! ihome of his daughter, Mrs. W. B. 5^ar- | rison, on Sunday morning. His entire j right side was affected, accompanied j Dy loss Ol spee<jii. Mr. "Wright had finished breakfast I on Sunday morning and was preparing to go to Sunday school when he felt the stroke. Mrs. Wright was near and went to his assistance. Dr. W. E. Pelham, Jr., went up to Greenville on Monday, returning on Tuesday, and Mr. Alvin Wright, son of Rev. Mr. Wright, went to Greenville on Tuesday. Mr. Alvin Wright returned on Wednesday night, and reports that at that time his father was thought to be somewhat improved. Mr. Wright's many warm friends here, where he is sincerely beloved, are earnest in the hope that he may have a speedy recovery. GRADED SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT. Baccalaureate Sermon by Rev. Mr. Fulenwider in Opera Honse? Clerical Error on Invitations. It seems that there is some misunderstanding as to the place of the bacmlaureate sermon to the hieh school finishing class. This serrr.on will i>e preached by Rev. Edw. Fulenwider in the city opera house Sunday evening at 8.30 o'clock, and it is hoped that a large audience will be present. I desire also to state that the absence of Miss Annie Kibler's name on the high school invitations was alto) gether an oversight of the printers. Miss Annie has stood well in all her classes throughout the year and it is with regret that we found her name is not on the invitations. As has been said before, the senior class of the high school numbers' eighteen young ladies and two boys. All these will finish and Miss Annie Kibler takes a j high stand in her class.

Nothing preventing, the following; program of divine services will be ob-; served at the Lutheran Church of the Redee?iier next Sunday. 11 a. m.?The regular morning serice. The pastor will preach the fifth | in the series of special sermons. The j subject will be: "The Great Fortune i of Providence." The word providence | i? often on the lips of men. It is often misunderstood, and quite frequentlyabused. An attempt will be made in j the sermon to present some useful and helpful thoughts on this great subject. There will be good music at the service. 5 p. m.?Sunday school meets. A cordial invitation to all services is extended the public. / ? i A. R. P. Church Services.

The machine was be ing run by a gasoline engine. If the blade had struck just a little bit lower, it is probable that Mr .
